Highlanders v B&I Lions

@taniwharugby yeah ,he has limitations , I think he plays his best footy when he is going 100 miles an hour , prob won't get his black jersey back , but can still be a handful to play against
-
Just hope the highlanders get some decent ball and it could be fun

Fekitoa is one of the best defensive 13s, but his headless chook attacking game is his problem, although if he can click in an open running match, lions could struggle.
I still find it odd he came into the ABs for his attacking qualities and his defence was under the microscope, that now seems to have reversed.

Rob Thompson is a player that has the allround game that I think the AB selectors could be looking at. He and ALB are very similar in my view.
Not sure why Thompson can't nail down a regular starting spot in super rugby, he's been a favourite player of mine for a few seasons now.
I do know he's had to change clubs in Christchurch because of a falling out with coaches/ management. So maybe related to attitude?
I think there have just been better options than him. With Fekitoa a lock at centre and all other positions being filled Buckman will get the nod. Not sure who his competition was at the Crusaders when he was there though.

Fekitoa, fuck. If you need an example of why he's not in the ABs there it is.

Every stadium in NZ needs a roof. Quality of rugby is so much better.

Shit, shit kicking from hand from both sides.
Looks more like a possibles v probables match.
First team to play as a team will take this.

Was Webb trying to milk a penalty by passing into a retreating player there? Surely spinning it wide to score a try would be priority over milking a penalty...

Landers scrum demolished.

I thought that was a try, no clear separation between the hands and the ball. They didn't have much of a look at it though.
